OHN BARKER VOSBURGH, licentiate of dental surgery, Montreal, Que., was born in Ottawa, August 27th, 1859. He is the third son of John Shibley Vosburgh, contractor and constructor of railways and canals, who was the eldest son of John Vosburgh, of Hartington, Ont. John Shibley Vosburgh, was married to Elizabeth Barker, third daughter of Dr. Edward John Barker, late editor and publisher of the British Whig, Kingston, Ont. Mr. John B. Vosburgh received his education at Lennoxville and Montreal. When sixteen years of age, he was indentured with the late

Dr. J. H. Webster, of Montreal, as a dental student. In 1882, he went West to Manitoba, and practiced his profession for two years. In 1884, he went to St. Paul, Minnesota, and practiced dentistry for five years. During this time he formed many friends and had a very large and lucrative practice, but having a yearning for his native land, he returned to Montreal in 1889, since which time he has continued his profession there with great success. He is the registrar of the Dental Faculty of Bishop's University, also professor of Operative Dentistry in the same institution.

Mr. Vosburgh is a leading member of the dental profession in Montreal, and although still a young man, he has taken a prominent part in all professional matters, and doubtless greater things are in store for him, for men who have the secret of success generally retain it. Mr. Vosburgh is a member of the Episcopalian Church, and in politics is a Conservative, but takes no active part in political matters. He is also a member of the masonic order. He was married in Montreal, 31st July, 1883, to Miss Sara Kent, only daughter of Thomas Kent and Sara Fulton, of Montreal. His family consists one son and two daughters, namely: Reginald Fulton, born in Montreal, Que., May 20th, 1885; Rena Maud Pope, born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on 16th March, 1887, and Vera Gwendoline, born in Montreal, Que., 21st September, 1891.

TEP TEPHEN THOS. REEVES, merchant trader, Windsor, Ont., was born in Sandwich, December 26th, 1844. His father, James A. Reeves, was publisher and proprietor of the Amherstburg Courier, and served his country as a volunteer in the rebellion of 1837-38, and was present at the Yonge street affair. Mr. Reeves was left an orphan at the age of five years, and the little education he received, was obtained at the Sandwich public schools. After this, he was apprenticed to Thomas Woodbridge, haruess maker, Sandwich, and remained at that business until 1876, when he entered the large exporting fish establishment of C. W. Gauthier, and after a few years, succeeded to the entire control of that business, which now embraces the exclusive trade on the Canadian side of Lake Huron. In addition to this, Mr. Reeves is secretary of the Manitoba fish companies. Notwithstand

ing the duties of his busy life, he has found time to give attention to the welfare and improvement of his city, and has for four successive years, been the recipient of aldermanic honors. Through his efforts as chairman of the fire, water and gas committee, the city has adopted an electric plant of its own. He is also interested in military matters, and was a volunteer of Sandwich county, No. 1, during the Trent affair, and was color sargeant when the company disbanded. He was subsequently attached as supernumerary of the 23rd Battalion, and in 1885, on

the organization of the Essex Fusileers, was appointed quarter master, and has latterly filled the office of adjudant. Politically, he is a Conservative, and an effective worker in the ranks of the party. In religion, he is a Methodist; he is also a member of the I.O.O.F., in which order he has filled all the offices in Frontier Lodge, and is a P.C.P. of Encampment No. 2. In a word, he is a man of push, tact and method, and his integrity has won for him the esteem and respect of all who know him. He was married in 1869, to Mary Jane, eldest daughter of Walter Shorland, of Windsor, Ont.

A. CHRÉTIEN ZAUGG, M.D., Montreal, Que., was born in that city in 1864. His father, Chrétien Zaugg, was born at Berne, Switzerland, and his mother M. Guimond, is a native of Montreal. Dr. Zaugg was educated in St. Thérèse Seminary, subsequently passed a course at the Jesuits' College, and finished his studies with a private preceptor. He began the study of medicine in the Victoria School of Medicine, Montreal, where he remained from 1882 to 1886, after which he went to Paris, France, and studied the eye, ear, nose and throat diseases, under Baron de Wecker

and Dr. Chatellier. In January, 1888, he became first assistant of these two leading men of Paris, occupying that position until October, 1891. He now gives clinics every day at the HôtelDieu, where he has a very large practice. For a man of his years, Dr. Chrétien Zaugg has certainly secured a very enviable position in his profession, and if his past is in any way an evidence of his future career, he will be one of our best known specialists. In religion, he is a Roman Catholic. He is a member of the Société d'Optholmologie de Paris, Société d'Otologie, Rhinologie et de Laryngologie de Paris.

RE

EV. CLIFFORD T. BENNETT, B.A., pastor of the Methodist Church, Jarvis, Ont., was born in 1856, in the township of Nelson, county of Halton, Ont. He is a son of W. J. and Sarah Bennett. His father is a successful farmer in that township, and an earnest Methodist. Rev. Mr. Bennett spent his early life on the farm. He obtained his education at the public and high schools of Ontario and at Victoria University. He took an Arts course in the latter institution, graduating B.A. in 1882. Mr. Bennett's special forte is philosophy, and in that department he excels. He en

tered upon the study of law with bright prospects, but the convictions of his early life, that he was called to the Christian ministry, were renewed, and he yielded to the call. He joined the Methodist Conference in 1883, and was ordained at Woodstock, Ont., in June, 1886. He has travelled the following circuits: Sheffield, Stevensville, Oxford Street, Brantford, and his present circuit at Jarvis. Mr. Bennett is an able Gospel minister, and as he is yet a young man, doubtless a bright future is ahead of him. He was married, August 10th, 1887, to Miss Minnie Smith, of Burford.

OS. PETER CHARTRAND, M.D., C.M., professor of practical anatomy in Laval University, surgeon to the Hôtel-Dieu, and consulting physician to the Providence Dispensary of the University of St. Pélagie, Montreal, Que., was born in St. André Avelin, Ottawa county, Que. His parents were Joseph Chartrand and Leocadie Bélanger. The former is a prominent notary, residing in Montreal. Mr. Chartrand was educated at Joliette College, and after that studied medicine at Victoria University, from which he graduated second in his class, took the degrees of M.D., C.M., and immediately commenced practice at Actonvale, in Bagot county, Que. After remaining there some sixteen months, a vacancy occurred in the chair of chemistry in the Montreal School of Medicine and Surgery, and out of several candidates for the position, the doctor was chosen to fill the chair, which he continued to occupy until 1891. This year he spent in Paris, making a special study of surgery, in all its departments, under such eminent specialists as Professors Verueuil, Guyon, Ledentu, Doloris and Pozzi. His attainments in, and knowledge of surgery, were of such a high degree, that on his return from Europe, in 1892, he was named professor of toxicology, and entered the Hôtel-Dieu as surgeon, and very flattering things are said of him by the profession, since he has held that position. He is physician to the "Compagnie d'Assurance La Canadienne," the

"Société des Artisans Canadiens Français," the Catholic Mutual Benefit Association, and the I.O.F. Society. Dr. Chartrand is, in religion, a Roman Catholic, and in politics, a Conservative. He was married, September 6th, 1887, to Miss Anna, daughter of the late Dr. Étienne Prevost. His medical course was a very brilliant one, as he graduated M.A. at 22 years of age, and was appointed a professor at 23. He is now (1893) only 31 years of age, the youngest member of the Montreal medical faculty. As the doctor is yet a young man, doubtless high honors are in store for him in the future.
